Transparent Conductive Electrode (TCE), as an essential part of the optoelectronic devices, has become popular owing to its unique properties such as high optical transmittance and conductivity. Among utilized materials for fabrication of TCE, copper nanofibers (NFs)-network have been attracting much attention due to its extraordinary properties such as low sheet resistance, the scalable manufacturing and low-cost fabrication method. However, many challenges exist in the way of multi-step fabrication of network to increase the NFs continuity and consequently, improvement of their electrical conductivity as TCE. Herein, we report a deep investigation of the effective parameters on diameter...

The inertial microfluidic technique, as a powerful new tool for accurate cell/particle separation based on the hydrodynamic phenomenon, has drawn considerable interest in recent years. Despite numerous microfluidic techniques of particle separation, there are few articles in the literature on separation techniques addressing external outlet geometry to increase the throughput efficiency and purity. In this work, we report on a spiral inertial microfluidic device with high efficiency (>98%). Herein, we demonstrate how changing the outlet geometry can improve the particle separation throughput. We present a complete separation of 4 and 6 μm from 10 μm particles potentially applicable to... 

Solution-processed quantum dots (QDs) have attracted significant attention for the low-cost fabrication of optoelectronic devices. Here, we synthesized PbS QDs via hot injection method and passivated the trap states by using short thiols and dopant elements for photovoltaic application. In order to study the effect of dopants on photovoltaic application, PbS QDs were doped by using three different cations: Cadmium, Calcium, and Zinc. We utilized Time resolvel Photoluminescence measurement to study the carriers lifetime for different samples and found that the carriers life time increases ∼80% by using Cd as a dopant compared with undoped sample. In addition, the results of J-V measurement...
